Brett, 07 Jun 2010My Previous review on this site was about the Nokia 5230, which I purchased to use for myself.... morei will give this phone to you for free, so you can use it for along time to get fair review. how's about that?

My Previous review on this site was about the Nokia 5230, which I purchased to use for myself. But after about a week, I gave it to my wife in frustration and took her old Motorola. I have had a quick play with this new phone over the weekend as my wife had one to sort out for her boss.
First Impression, and remember I'm no guru on phones:

What a huge over-weighted brick.
Way too big, too thick,too heavy.
Would never want this thing sitting in my pocket.
Software: Crap,Crap,Crap,Crap. Typical Windows Crap.
I've used both Computer software, and are totally sold on Apple, so it was no surprise to see that even though this was a brand new phone, it operated like any other Windows based electronic item, like a PIG.
Just took too long to open the different packages on the phone, you get that silly little circle spinning around and around while this PIG was trying to think about opening.
I haven't much to do with the iPhone as I wasn't interested in buying into all the hype when they first came out. But after seeing a friends one and watching what you could do with, and more importantly how easily you could operate it. I wouldn't dare buy this piece of crap.
Which is a shame as a relative actually had another HTC and that wasn't too bad. But this thing,........PIG.
If your stupid enough to buy into the hype of these phones then it doesn't really matter what people say as you probably wont listen anyway.
But the good thing to come out of all this, is I am now convinced 100% that I will NEVER, EVER buy anything else that uses anything to with Microsoft.

I have bought my phone in the US and is not able to upgrade to 6.5. Gives an error...
Anyone have any info on where I can download or get this 6.5 upgrade in SA?
It is worth it yes, but no response from servers to where I can upgrade from...
Many thanks...

Do you guys recommend upgrading to 6.5? I already have the ROM but I'm hesitant to do it if it will slow down my phone. I know I can't downgrade afterwards so this is a one time shot deal.
Anyone with 6.5, what's your take. Worth it?
